Whoever is pleased to meet God tomorrow as a Muslim, let him perform these prayers wherever he calls them, for God has prescribed for your Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, the Sunnahs of guidance, even if they are among the Sunnahs of guidance. If you had prayed in your homes as this retarded person prays in his house, you would have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet. If you had abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet, you would have gone astray. And there is no man who purifies himself and purifies himself well and then goes to one of these mosques except that God records for him a good deed for every step he takes. And it raises him in rank, and removes from him a bad deed, and you have seen us, and no one abandons it except a hypocrite with known hypocrisy. A man used to be brought and guided between two men until he stood in line.
من سره أن يلقى الله غدا مسلما فليحافظ على هؤلاء الصلوات حيث ينادا بهن فإن الله شرع لنبيكم صلى الله عليه وسلم سنن الهدى وإن هن من سنن الهدى ولو أنكم صليتم في بيوتكم كما يصلي هذا المتخلف في بيته لتركتم سنة نبيكم ولو تركتم سنة نبيكم لضللتم وما من رجل يتطهر فيحسن الطهور ثم يعمد إلى مسجد من هذه المساجد إلا كتب الله له بكل خطوة يخطوها حسنة ويرفعه بها درجة ويحط عنه بها سيئة ولقد رأيتنا وما يتخلف عنها إلا منافق معلوم نفاق ولقد كان الرجل يؤتى به يهادى بين الرجلين حتى يقام في الصف
